KYBoy 02-21-2005, 04:05 AM IMO the fiber fx looks better from the pictures

PunkInDrublic 02-21-2005, 04:32 AM BBIst!!!
tckurt 02-21-2005, 05:02 AM BBIST seems to be the best quality since its double sided... but as for the other two I haven't heard anything negative about them so I guess cheapest price is the way to go...
hahaitzskippy 02-21-2005, 06:23 AM stick with FIBER-FX.
they did my HOOD AND TRUNK.
sporting them right now. if your in the SOCAL area and wanna check the stuff out, you can either contact them direct or see me (SW TC with fiber fx sticker on the wind deflector) this saturday at SOUND ADVICE.
kutsuju_dj 02-21-2005, 01:45 PM does anybody know if BBist carbon fiber trunk is all carbon fiber or does it have that part like the fiber fx one has thats not carbon fiber which looks kinda tacky..........
tckurt 02-21-2005, 02:26 PM hmm if I remeber correctly its all CF search for the post on the boards it still should be here and hes a member so you can pm him or go to bbist.com and ask...
hahaitzskippy 02-21-2005, 06:12 PM does anybody know if BBist carbon fiber trunk is all carbon fiber or does it have that part like the fiber fx one has thats not carbon fiber which looks kinda tacky..........
i highly believe its the same, because that is the trunk door opener... and its a 1 piece. replacing that for CF might damge the part
slikewhoa 02-22-2005, 09:04 PM FiberFX is the bombdigity.
AZURETCTONY 09-22-2006, 03:50 AM I saw this non-carbon fiber Raceon hood too that looks pretty nice. Anybody own one? :eyebrow: www.raceonusa.com
ScionizedRide 09-22-2006, 03:53 AM i would go with FiberFx...never heard about Raceon
exige 09-22-2006, 04:04 AM just a question for all you people that went with fiber fx.....ever heard of a company called carbon efx? cause i can tell you right now, fiber fx did not make my hood. carbon efx is an ebay company. i paid retail dollar for a high quality hood that was to have fiber-fx's logo on it. however, every time i open up my hood....glaring right at me is a BIG FAT "EFX" logo. do i sound a bit irritated for paying 140 bucks extra and receiving eBay crap? do i sound irritated that I then had to spend money to get my nozzle holes drilled after i paid fiber fx to do so and they didnt? do i sound irritated that i had to pay labor charges to get my fenders pulled up due to the massive gaps in my EBAY CF HOOD?! do i sound irritated that when it arrived, i couldnt even put it on the car, i had to take it to get clear coated, BECAUSE THERE WERE SCRATCHES ON IT EVERYWHERE FROM THEIR POOR PACKAGING? DO I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE TICKED WHEN I SPEND ALMOST 400 EXTRA BUCKS TO GET THE F'IN THING IN USABLE CONDITION!?!?!?! :flame: i called Coi and left him a couple messages....he didnt get back to me until almost 2 weeks later. Was i a bit ____ed off? Hmm, i would say so. DONT BUY FIBER-FX
buy AIT or bBist only. dont get ripped off like i did. i will never do business with that company again. they're full of crap.
ScionizedRide 09-22-2006, 04:11 AM ....^ damn that sucks...
but its not fiber-fx fault if someone sold you some efx sh!t saying it's fiber fx...
...and comparing that with some Raceon, have no idea what kind of quality that is..
exige 09-22-2006, 04:20 AM nono it IS fiber-fx's fault....i bought it through fiber-fx. and then they sent me the efx sh!t.
ScionizedRide 09-22-2006, 05:22 AM :shock: wow...
exige 09-22-2006, 05:23 AM yeah lol.....pm'ed you maria
brownbanana 09-22-2006, 03:27 PM nono it IS fiber-fx's fault....i bought it through fiber-fx. and then they sent me the efx sh!t.
so fiber-fx=efx??
...well i have dealt with fiber-fx and coi and i agree with tC_skier, I will never deal with them again because of the quality of parts, and just the lack of customer service replying in the severly delayed responding of emails and messages. I would recommend Racing Solution over them as Brian is great with customer service helping you get through a problem, should it arise.
exige 09-22-2006, 04:52 PM apparently yes....ive spoken with 2 other people who bought from fiber-fx and they both received EFX hoods.......im thinkin i should have made a retail experience thread....ill have to do that later on today....
SquallLHeart 09-22-2006, 04:59 PM efx is their manufacturer.... and efx sells wholesale. the quality itself is still high, and i currently have one of their silver CF/kevlar hoods.
fitment isn't perfect, but comparable to most hoods available out there.
if you don't like a certain retailer.. either choose someone else.. or go straight to the manufacturer.
